The OASIS rule is:  "Changes made to a committee draft after a review must 
be clearly identified in any subsequent review, and the subsequent review 
shall be limited in scope to changes made in the previous review."

So the scope is limited to "changes made in the previous review".

However, I'd tend to read that broadly, to include explicit text changes 
as well as those unchanged parts of the text whose interpretation has 
changed based on the explicit text changes.
